We are still enjoying summer, in fact, we are normally in flip flops and short sleeves here around the end of October. That’s why we decided to finally buy a pergola for our patio and be able to enjoy it more.

We’ve been working on the patio quite a lot though there are few things missing. Nevertheless, the most important things are there. If you are a regular reader then you know I keep finding stuff all.the.time!

I found some pallet wood and a mattress that I used to make the seating, but recently I found two square ones that would look awesome as a table, so I replaced the colorful slat table for another one. It’s not finished, I just stuck one above the other and I’ll be working on them whenever I can find some free time.

Anyway, we had the pergola, the seating, the new table, I also built a planter for an odd corner we have up there, and I wanted some pretty pillows. As I had the fillings already, I only needed to make some covers. Easy peasy! I love stars so much, look at the faux metal stars I made for my living room, so I decided I was going to make a DIY star envelope pillow cover. Yay!

I promise it is really easy to do, you just need some fabric, paint and make yourself a stencil.

Pili it really looks great. I love that whole area. And you were very smart to buy a pergola. I know just how hot it can get and it’s a shame to not be able to go outside because of the heat. Those pillows add such a pretty touch to your outdoor decor.

Pili, your patio area looks so comfortable, a great place to hang out for the summer! I really like how you’ve decorated and set things up there. The star pillow is such a wonderful accent piece. I hope you find time to enjoy this lovely setting.

Your patio looks so nice Pili! I know what you mean, here we can be in summer clothes until Halloween and enjoy the patio, so good for you that you got the pergola, it looks awesome and that pillow is perfect on your comfy hangout spot!!
